  • a well jet device which comprises a jet pump installed on a flow string and a geophysical instrument arranged below the said jet pump in the said flow string (RU 2059891 C1).
  • the same patent document teaches a method of operating a well jet device, comprising feeding an active medium along a pipe string to the nozzle of a jet pump, which medium, while exiting, draws a pumped liquid medium to a mixing chamber, medium mixture is fed from the mixing chamber to a diffuser where the flow kinematic energy is partially transformed to potential energy, and the medium mixture is fed from the diffuser along the pipe string annular space to a consumer; physical parameters of the pumped out medium and the producing formation (i.e., pressure, density, gas saturation, solid-phase content, temperature, flow velocity, flow rate, etc.) are measured with the use of a instrumentation unit comprising emitters and detectors-transducers of physical fields, measurements being transferred by a cable to the surface; required measurements are taken and an optimal operating mode for the jet pump is selected by changing the active medium flow rate and pressure; and, when necessary, the pumped-out medium and the producing formation are treated (by heating, ultrasonic crushing of the mud, etc.) with the use of physical field emitters.
  • the above device and the method of operating thereof enable to pump a variety of produced media, e.g., oil, out of a well, and simultaneously treat and study both a produced medium and the near-wellbore area of the formation.

  • the same patent also teaches a method of operating the well jet device, which comprises lowering a pipe string with a packer and the body in a well, arranging the packer over a producing formation, bringing the packer into the working position, thus separating the wellbore annular space around the pipe string, lowering an insert with a jet pump and a sealing unit as well as instruments and equipment on a cable into the pipe string, fixing the insert with the jet pump in the body by a fixing mechanism, pumping an active medium into the wellbore space around the pipe string, which medium, while exiting the pump nozzle, is formed into a stable jet drawing a surrounding medium into the jet pump, which results in pressure reduction first in the channel for supplying a pumped-out medium and then in the under-packer space of the wellbore, thus creating pressure drawdown on the producing formation, then a medium mixture comes from the well to the surface along the pipe string due to the working medium energy, parameters of the pumped-out medium being monitored during pumping out the formation fluid with the use of the instruments and equipment
  • the above well jet device and the method of operating it enable to conduct various technological operations in a wellbore below the level at which the jet pump is arranged, including those involving reducing pressure differential above and under the sealing unit.
  • this device does not enable to utilize its capabilities in full due to the fact that its design capabilities are insufficient for studying producing formations in a well and when pumping acid solutions or hydrofracturing fluids into a formation.
  • the objective of this invention is to expand technological capabilities of a well jet device for using it when carrying out various studies and other operations in wells.
  • the well jet device comprises a body with bypass ports and an insert with a jet pump, the insert having a pass-through channel, a channel for supplying an active medium into the jet pump nozzle, a channel for supplying a pumped-out medium to the jet pump which is in communication with the pass-through channel, and an output channel, a mounting seat being made in the pass-through channel above the channel for supplying a pumped-out medium, a sealing unit being installed on the mounting seat, and an axial channel being made in the sealing unit for passing a cable or a wire through it and the pass-through channel for the purpose of installing on said cable or wire below the jet pump in a well downhole instruments and equipment with the possibility of moving them along the wellbore when the jet pump is or is not operated; the output channel is in communication with the well annular space, and sealing elements are installed on the insert, an axially movable bearing sleeve, which is spring-loaded against the body, is installed
  • the method of operating the well jet device comprises lowering the body provided with bypass ports and with a spring-loaded bearing sleeve having bypass openings, the body bypass ports being closed by the wall of the bearing sleeve which is in its upper position under the action of the spring, lowering an insert with a jet pump into a well on a cable or a wire, said cable or wire being preliminarily passed through the axial channel of the sealing unit as well as through the pass-through channel of the insert, installing the sealing unit on the mounting seat in the pass-through channel, attaching downhole instruments and equipment, e.g., a well-logging instrument for registration of a formation fluid inflow profile, to the lower end of the cable or the wire, installing the insert together with the jet pump and the sealing unit on the mounting seat of the bearing sleeve, and arranging downhole instruments and equipment with the use of the cable or the wire at a pre-defined depth in the well below the body, supplying

  • An analysis of the inventive well jet device after operation shows that work intensity of well studies may be improved by expanding a range of operations and studies that may be carried out in a well without lifting a well jet device to the surface.
  • Making the body of the well jet device with a bearing sleeve that is spring-loaded against the body enables to close the bypass ports during carrying out some technological operations and, thus, separate the body inner cavity and space surrounding the body.
  • the insert with the jet pump may be removed from the bearing sleeve, and a flexible tube may be passed through the pipe string and the bearing sleeve of the well jet device for the purpose of flushing the well bottom or making a cement bridging.
  • this operation may be carried out without lifting the pipe string to the surface, which sharply reduces time necessary for additional technological operations on studying and treating a producing formation.
